I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid at the same time, and my platelet count is at 1.9 lakh. I've tested positive for antigen NS1 and had a positive Widal test. Should I be worried about this and consider getting hospitalized, or is it something I can manage at home?

Hey, I got a small scratch from my dog's teeth while we were playing yesterday. There wasn't any bleeding, but it did swell up a bit overnight and a tiny bit of skin got peeled off. It's only slightly painful. The dog is vaccinated, but should I consider taking any precautionary meds or injections?

no its fine you wont get rabies since the dog is vaccinated.

I'm really concerned about why she's been having a fever every morning. She did have a SGPT test, and there was some infection found, but after a full month of treatment, she got better. Now the fever is back, and we did all the checkups, but the doctor still can't pinpoint the issue. Could it be something we missed? What should we do next?

Kindly see her white blood cell count. Also look after for other symptoms and treat accordingly
